Well protested, Ely, I am with you.

Unfortunately, total control of all is what is always on every government’s table.

The only warning label persons responsible for their freedom require is this warning against ALL governments BECAUSE they want your voluntary servitude’s vote to control you and your children in the name of protecting you, PATERNALISM.

“The beginning of political wisdom is the realization that despite everything you’ve always been taught, the government is not really on your side; indeed, it is out to get you. The mass belief in the general beneficence of democracy represents a kind of Stockholm syndrome writ large. We shall never have real, lasting peace so long as we give our allegiance to the whole conglomeration of institutionalized exploiters and murderers we know as the state.” Voluntaryist scholar, Robert Higgs

If no one obeys, no one rules.

Get free, stay free and help your children do the same.

Few politicians are beholden to anyone but themselves, despite all their phony rhetoric.

As Robert Higgs wrote: the one word that perhaps best describes any government is fraud. If you have not, I suggest you read Etienne de la Boetie's The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude here

This is what big government looks like. Shrink your government and everything gets better.
